(In reply to Bernd Steinhauser from comment #11)
For KeePass, there is a standard file format (`.kdbx`) that multiple
applications can work with, and indeed there are many KeePass variations that
all work with this format, some platform-specific like Keepass2Android, others
more cross-platform, like KeePassXC. Of those, KeePassXC can also act as a
Secret Service backend. But it comes with its own UI, which while it is Qt, is
not fully integrated with KDE, and will likely stay that way. There is some
work there to separate its core from its GUI, so eventually it might provide
Secret Service headless. Or someone could implement a separate Secret Service
backend that could work with `.kdbx` files.

Gnome has a password manager that works with `.kdbx` but AFAIK doesn't provide
Sercret Service, and it has Gnome keyring that provides Secret Service, but
doesn't work with `.kdbx`. There's also Seahorse, which is a general front-end
for Sercret Service, but not sure how well-integrated it is with the DE.

Eventually Linux should get native Secret Service front-ends with proper DE
integration. Then you can pick and choose which backend you want to use with
that, and correspondingly, which file format you want to work with, whether
it's `.kwl`, or `.kdbx`, or `pass`, or whichever else. `.kdbx` is the most
cross-platform, I think.
